Hi!
I just rooted my N7 (1st gen.) because Android 4.3 lost it. My device is rooted and I decided to make full nandroid backup. I only had 2GB of storage and alot apps. Nandroid failed in some point at CWR. Now all my free 2GB of storage is gone and devices is full. Where can I find the half backup and delete this? PLZ help!

Hi all,
I own an G1 which is currently running JACxRom-1.4r3. I've made a nandroid backup and then upgraded to JACxRom-1.5r4.
Before that I hoped, that I can restore my sms, settings and so on with nandroid.
But after trying, I realized that a full nandroid restore will also restore the old custom rom.
(Which it does perfectly , but unfortunately this is not what I need right now..)
Therefore I wanted to ask, if I there's a way to restore selectively with nandroid?
My idea was to only restore the data-, cache- and userdata-img files (from nandroid) via fastboot,
hoping that this would leave the freshly installed rom intact. Is this possible?
Cheers, Kleo
Not in recovery but if you go into your sd card..
Nandroid >
then it should have 2 folders with letters not forming any words.
The first 1 on the left is the last back up and the next one on the right is the older nandroid.
For example.
I was running Cyans rom.
Nandroid.
Wipe and flash to soul life.
Nandroid.
On the sd card of mine it will have two folders
The first one is Soul life
and the second one is Cyan.
But I have had trouble after doing this, Nandroid couldn't be preformed but all you do to fix that is remove the nandroid folder off your sd card/place it on your desktop so when you do a nandroid it will create a new folder that's not buggy.
Hi Everyone,
I have an P5110 running stock Samsung 4.04 ICS firmware it's rooted and has cwm touch recovery installed and titanium backup pro (root) installed.
My question is this how do i verify a Nanodroid backup ?
I have read it checks the backups before a restore.
However, When running version 5.xx of CWM recovery it failed twice to restore data and since i couldn't i find a way to check the data before i restored it.
Data was overwritten, however cwm reported a fail to write to data, and sure enough no data had been written but /data had been formatted.
Is their a way to verify a backup before i choose to restore it ?
i am now using ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0
thanks

Hello guys,
I am new here and I have a questiom .. right now im using 4.3 firmware on my i9500 .. before i flashed it i made a backup of my 4.2.2 firmware through CWM to my sd card .. I wonder will i be able to restore it? Or this is the same case as downgrading and it may harm my phone?
Note: my phone is rooted and i installed the cwm but i am scared to hit restore on cwm
You woun't damage your phone.
Your phone will be restored to the exactly same state as it was at backup time.
Another question is how to restore your backup correctly
Google for clockwokmode, cwm, NANDroid backup
Hello guys!
I was updating from 4.4.4 to lollypop via OTA, then I realized that even if I run the stock ROM, I am still unlocked + root, meaning that the OTA won't run.
I did a complete nandroid backup via Wugs Nexus Toolkit, including data.
Then I wiped and flashed the new 5.0 via Nexus Toolkit, but when I tried to restore only the data it didn't work.
I decided to go back to 4.4.4. and do things properly, but now I'm not able to restore anything.
I am not bothered with the apps and stuff, but I had plenty of pictures which I forgot to backup, and I want to restore them. I even tried to access the nandroid backup files, but no success!
I was accustomed with the old CMW, where you had the .img files, but I got no clue on what to do here!
I add the picture of the nandroid backup folder on my PC ( I think the data files are splitted, but I cannot open them in any case, not even with 7zip).
The nandroid was executed via Nexus Toolkit, but I guess it has been done through TRWP.
Long story short:
1) how can I access the pictures inside the nandroid backup?
2) how can I restore a nandroid backup that keeps failing?

Maybe CWM does things differently, I don't know, but with TWRP, a Nandoid backup doesn't back up your SD card partition, so if you wiped everything, all your pics are gone. Sorry.
Yeah, I guess so.. Managed to recover something with DISK DIGGER (its an app, free on the store). Just wanted to write it here, so if anyone has the same issue can recover this way!
Hello all,
I am currently running the latest snapshot of Cyanogenmod 11 (M12) on my GS4 and last month I used Flashify to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 over the default CWM 6.0.4.7 recovery that comes with CM11. I did a nandroid backup to my external 64 GB microSD card and it would say that the backup was successful, and I could see it within the file manager and on my PC using MTP.
However, whenever I reboot into the OS, the backup folder gets deleted. I have then tried to backup only the /system partition to my internal storage, since I do not have enough space on my internal storage for a full nandroid. This backup worked successfully as I can access the folder from the OS, however I would still like to a full backup on my SD card since it has enough space for a full nandroid
Here is what I tried:
1. While in TWRP, I copied the newly created backup folder over MTP to my computer. After I rebooted the phone, I shut it down and plugged the SD card into my computer and copied the backup back to my SD card. However, when I placed the SD card back into the phone and powered it on, it deleted the backup again.
2. I reflashed CWM (same version, but newly downloaded and flashed using Flashify) and attempted to do a full nandroid. I received an error saying that the /data partition could not be backed up. Interestingly, I deleted an old CWM backup on my SD card, and after I rebooted that old backup was still there.
3. I flashed TWRP 2.7.1.0 and 2.8.3.0, and still have the same issue.
The version of CWM that I had before I installed TWRP would backup without issues. I am not sure if this is an OS, hardware, or an SD card issue, though my guess would be that when booting into the OS, Android deletes any changes that were made to the SD card that were not made in the OS. I am not sure how to fix this issue and was hoping someone on this forum could help, and I have searched other forums for answers, but haven't found one as specific as this, and solutions for similar problems haven't worked.
The phone works fine otherwise, I'm just worried that with CM12 M releases coming around the corner that I won't be able to install it properly with these recovery issues.
Any help on this would be appreciated, and if there is a better XDA forum for me to ask this on please let me know.
I figured out the issue. Turns out my microSD card is faulty. Sandisk will send a replacement.
